Cory Woodall is an art historian, curator, and contemporary artist specializing in the historic cyanotype process. A graduate of the University of California, San Diego, she merges early photographic techniques with modern artistic perspectives to create evocative, nature-inspired works.
Drawing inspiration from early photography pioneers, Cory reinterprets the medium of cyanotype through the lens of modern botanical studies. Using hand-coated, light-sensitive paper, she arranges ethically sourced plant specimens to create luminous, organic compositions that highlight nature’s intricate beauty.
Her work bridges science, history, and art, transforming delicate botanical forms into striking imagery. Each piece reflects a meticulous process of selection, arrangement, and exposure, resulting in a timeless fusion of historical craftsmanship and contemporary expression.
Cory currently lives and works in Flagstaff, Arizona, where she enables and incentivizes local artists. She has previously served as Assistant Curator at The San Diego Museum of Art and Curator of the Juneau-Douglas City Museum in Alaska.
